Board of Supervisors Policies

Location

The table below provides a quick reference to determine if a proposed tower-mounted facility is permitted, not permitted, or specially permitted (SUP). Permitted districts and heights for other types of facilities, such as camouflaged, alternative mounted, multi-antenna systems and portable transmission facilities can be found in Section 24-122 of the Zoning Ordinance.

Note that if a parcel has been rezoned and is subject to proffers there may be additional use or height restrictions in the proffers.
